Delhi man's date turns into dating app scam nightmare
A Delhi man thought he was meeting someone new from a dating app, but ended up getting scammed at Cafe Locus in East of Kailash.
The woman he met ordered expensive drinks, pushing the bill to nearly ₹12,000, then claimed she only had ₹100 on her.
After some back and forth, he paid ₹2,500 just to end the awkward situation.
TL;DR
Victims often hesitate to report these cases because of embarrassment
Similar tricks have been reported across Delhi and elsewhere: fake profiles lure people to cafes where staff and owners are often in on it.
Victims sometimes face huge bills or even threats if they refuse to pay.
Many hesitate to report these cases because of embarrassment, but police are investigating and have started making arrests.
